Chapter 233: I was amazed [Thanks to Militia III, Xian Yunbu for the reward! 】
Chen Kun smiled slightly:
"My play hasn't been played much yet, so it's too early to draw conclusions."
The agent sighed:
"If it hadn't been broadcast so much, you would have been bombarded by the media like Zhou Xun.
After half of this drama is aired, if the ratings are not as good as "Orange Is Red", I'm afraid you will be even more stressed. ”
Chen Kun nodded:
"I understand, but I believe this work can withstand the test of the market."
"It seems you have heard about it too..."
The agent showed a helpless look:
"The audio-visual products of this drama have not sold very well since they were released last month. Only more than 4,000 sets have been released in total, which is considered to be below the average level among TV dramas.
This may be a bumpy road for your stardom. ”
"The road is still long."
Chen Kun calmly put down the water glass in his hand:
""The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" has not yet started broadcasting, so it is not certain who will win or lose.
And as an actor, the foundation of a drama has been set from the moment it’s finalized.
The past cannot be changed, and the future can still be looked forward to, so it is better to think about the next drama. ”
"That's easy to say."
The agent shook his head:
"You are the male lead of "Comprador House", and you are also the main protagonist. If this show fails, public opinion will definitely point at you.
I advised you at the beginning that just for Li Xiaohong's sake, you could just make a cameo, and there was no need to take on the leading role. ”
He was not optimistic about this drama at all, but Li Xiaohong was very optimistic about Chen Kun. As the pillar of the company, he had to consider taking over the filming.
It’s okay now. Even if the media compares it with a new young student who has debuted for more than a year, there is still the possibility of being killed by the other party...
Chen Kun remained silent, his eyes falling on the large photo of himself in the newspaper.
How could he not know that if "Comprador House" was widely publicized but the ratings were not so popular, he would probably become a stepping stone for Du Sheng.
No matter how hard he stayed calm, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
As one of the four most popular young men in the entertainment industry, he, like Lu Yi and others, knew that he would inevitably be compared to others, or even become a backdrop.
Only this time, the one he was being compared with was actually a stuntman, so the agent's reaction was so strong.
After all, in terms of popularity and popularity, I am way ahead.
It would indeed be a shame if the ratings were lost to the other party.
Just like the two major productions "Together" and "Guanzhong Swordsman", which were originally highly hyped, have been released for less than ten days. Not to mention making waves, even the media is too lazy to pay attention to them.
This huge gap between before and after is so embarrassing.
And "Yi Tian" is a big remake of Jin Yong, and Lai Shuisang spent seven years sharpening his sword. No matter how low the ratings are, the ratings will be limited.
Chen Kun knew in his heart that it would be really difficult for him to defeat his opponent.
But he never expected to lose.
For the cast of "Eternal", the success of this drama is related to their reputation and future.
The same goes for Du Sheng.
But compared to others, he has more confidence and belief in his heart.
Time flies by and the two days arrive as scheduled.
After the popularity of "Comprador House", "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" finally started airing on Lychee Channel.
The audience couldn't wait to turn on the TV to see it all.
Is the new work from the father of remakes as good as ever?
Du Sheng faces a fight with a popular niche for the first time. Can he get through?
Can he play the role of Zhang Wuji well, and will he create sparks with actresses from both sides of the Taiwan Strait?
The audience has a lot of expectations for this drama.
In a rented house near a university in Zhejiang Province, two classmates who rented the same house had a dispute over the choice of TV programs.
"Why do you have to watch the Lychee Terrace?"
Tan Xiaoxia muttered dissatisfiedly.
"As promised before, the remote control will be mine tonight."
Xu Yao directly held the remote control in her hand:
"You haven't been to many classes in the past few days. I helped you fool you during roll call. Is it appropriate for you to 'repay' the favor?"
"Last time you didn't go to class, it wasn't me who fooled you!"
Tan Xiaoxia turned away angrily:
"Aren't you just obsessed with that fighting star? People who box are all shabby-looking. I really don't understand your aesthetics."
"Looking shabby? Haha——"
Xu Yao did not refute, just smiled:
"The drama "Comprador House" has only been released for three days. It hasn't been long since you've been a fan of Chen Kun, right?
Moreover, Chen Kun looks like a "sissy" type at first glance. His gloomy and effeminate temperament is not the mainstream aesthetic. If you fall in love with him, you will just follow the crowd.
But my brother Sheng is different. Not only is he bright and handsome, he also has a martial arts background. He recently competed in K1 to win glory for the country..."
As one of the managers of the meager fan group, her level of attention and concern for Du Sheng is by no means comparable to that of her roommate's fake fans.
"Hmph, you have so many lies."
Tan Xiaoxia snorted lightly.
She naturally knows Xu Yao's fanaticism for Du Sheng, but it would be unreasonable to deprive her of the right to watch "The Comprador House"!
"How about this?"
Xu Yao looked at the upcoming TV series and made a suggestion:
"I'll watch an episode of "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword" first, and then you'll watch "The Comprador's House". Chen Kun doesn't have many scenes in front of him, so it doesn't matter if you miss even a little bit."
"Then...okay."
Tan Xiaoxia was lying lazily on the sofa:
"Be sure to call me after you finish watching it. I'm not a big fan of costume dramas.
Another thing you said is wrong. I watched "Comprador" not for Chen Kun, but to write reviews and earn some drink money.
As for remakes, even if you pay me to watch them, I won’t be able to get excited about them. ”
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xu Yao agreed perfunctorily, staring at the TV.
Because the opening song of "Eternal Dragon Sword" was already playing, apart from the looks of the leading actors flashing through the camera that made her eyes light up, the singing voice was very pleasant. This voice was all too familiar to her.
The person who sang the theme song turned out to be Du Sheng! !
That low and affectionate voice instantly made her intoxicated and immersed in the scene.
"I have to say, this singing is quite good."
Unexpectedly, Tan Xiaoxia, who was brushing her meager money, looked up in surprise:
"Who sang this?"
She majored in music, so she had no problem distinguishing whether a song was good or bad.
Regardless of the opponent's breath, pronunciation, pronunciation, pitch, rhythm, etc., they are all above the standard.
In particular, the singing is full of passion and tenderness. It is both majestic and has a kind of emotional catharsis, which makes people's hearts unknowingly shocked.
This is obviously a professional singer.
It's just that the voice was a bit strange, and she didn't recognize it for a while.
Xu Yao glanced at her best friend who claimed to be going to rest, and said strangely:
"Unfortunately, this is the song sung by the shabby one you mentioned."
Tan Xiaoxia: "..."
This is such an old boomerang.
She didn't know how to refute for a moment.
The first episode opens with the villain Cheng Kun, played by Leslie Cheung, suggesting that the King of Ruyang use the martial arts' most precious dragon-slaying knife as bait to make the martial arts fight against each other.
The most eye-catching one is naturally the scene where the demon sect witch Yin Susu descends from the sky with the help of a kite and seizes the sword.
"Is this the heroine? She's pretty good-looking. Why hasn't the hero come out yet?"
I heard Tan Xiaoxia's question coming from the side.
Xu Yao glanced at it, and Tan Xiaoxia said slightly embarrassed:
"Actually... I'm just bored and just looking around.
Just looking at the beginning of this episode, I don’t think it’s as interesting as "The Comprador House"..."
Xu Yao said casually:
"This is the hero's mother, but Brother Sheng will come out soon."
After saying that, she continued to be immersed in the plot.
As expected, Zhang Cuishan, played by Du Sheng, made a stunning appearance.
With one crisp move of Wudang swordsmanship, he defeated several martial arts figures who fished in troubled waters, and rescued the injured Yin Susu on the scene.
The opening set the tone for the rest of the plot.
Tan Xiaoxia couldn't help but admire:
"Hey, this handsome scholar's temperament is a bit eye-catching.
Even in the entertainment industry where there are so many handsome guys, there are few such handsome and outstanding artists..."
Well, she still didn't recognize Du Sheng.
However, women’s obsession with appearance will never go out of style.
Xu Yao was also shocked.
Especially the back view of Du Sheng turning around in a carefree manner perfectly displays Zhang Cuishan's elegant, elegant and suave temperament.
Her previous impression of Du Sheng was that Murong Fu was ruthless and affectionate, and Sai Hua Tuo acted like a noble man.
I didn’t expect him to have such a unique side when playing a scholar.
No wonder the publicity said that he plays the role of father and son. This casting is so appropriate!
While the scene was changing, she reluctantly looked away and said in a very pretentious manner:
"Unfortunately, this handsome scholar is Du Sheng."
Tan Xiaoxia "..."
Fortunately, she was used to being slapped in the face, so she coughed lightly and said:
"Isn't the male protagonist of this drama Zhang Wuji? Playing the role of father and son in this way will not cause chaos?"
Tan Xiaoxia learned most of "Yitian" from Xu Yao.
Xu Yao finally couldn't help but retort:
"First of all, Du Sheng's acting skills and fighting scenes are recognized as good, but Chen Kun may not be able to compare with him.
Furthermore, the plot hasn’t unfolded yet, so don’t jump to conclusions too early. ”
The words just fell.
The drama between Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu begins.
The most interesting one is the scene where Zhang Cuishan meets the beautiful Yin Susu, who is easily emotional but coy.
That kind of performance that is both graceful and shy makes people laugh.
Especially when Zhang Cuishan watched Yin Susu pass out due to lack of water, he abided by etiquette and did not feed her at close range, but picked up a bamboo tube to cross the water, which made the audience very anxious for him...
"The Zhang Cuishan played by Du Sheng is really attractive."
Tan Xiaoxia commented:
"Although I don't particularly like his excessive adherence to etiquette, but the shy look of being embarrassed after meeting a beautiful woman does not seem like an act to reveal his true feelings."
"Hmm."
Xu Yao seemed a little unhappy:
"If you don't like watching, then play games."
Tan Xiaoxia made a naughty face:
"Anyway, I finished watching one episode quickly. I said Du Sheng's acting was good, but you're not happy about it?
Then you can accompany me to watch "The Comprador's House". I guarantee that you will immediately fall in love with the male lead Chen Kun! ”
"..."
Xu Yao felt speechless.
Tan Xiaoxia looked at the watch on her wrist happily, waiting for the end of the first episode of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", and then immediately changed the channel to catch up with "The Comprador House". This was the agreement she and Xu Yao had made before.
In fact, after watching most of the episodes of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Tan Xiaoxia's inner feelings towards the show are not as disdainful as she appears on the surface.
As a girl, she found it quite interesting to see all the interesting things about Zhang Cuishan being captured by Yin Susu.
In particular, the awkward scene of Zhang Cuishan, who is gradually becoming fond of each other, but dare not express his feelings due to shame such as being thin-skinned, makes the romance more and more interesting.
If there were no "Comprador House" for comparison, Tan Xiaoxia might be keen to watch this drama!
However, people are always prone to comparison.
Tan Xiaoxia thought this in her heart, looked at the TV screen with some regret, but suddenly froze.
She couldn't believe her eyes, so she rubbed her eyes and looked again.
